Nine former directors of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), dedicated drug warriors all, on Wednesday urged Attorney General Eric Holder to sue Colorado and Washington state in order to block implementation of marijuana legalization approved by the voters in both states.

Former DEA chiefs Peter Bensinger, John Bartels, Robert Bonner, Thomas Constantine, Asa Hutchinson, John Lawn, Donnie Marshall and Francis Mullen wrote a letter to Holder, and also gave an advance copy to The Associated Press, reports Activist Post.

“The supremacy of federal law over state law when it comes to drug laws isn’t in doubt,” Bensinger, who headed the DEA from February 1976 to July 1981, told the AP. “It is outrageous that a lawsuit hasn’t been filed in federal court yet,” he said, obviously longing for the old days when somebody gave a damn what he thought about it.

After Bensinger left the DEA, he founded a drug testing lab, Bensinger DuPont Associates, which according to its own website handles drug testing for corporations.

“Bensinger, DuPont & Associates’ (BDA) provides a full-service solution to drug testing management,” the site reads. “Our services are designed to help employees establish and manage workplace drug and alcohol testing programs that are technically and forensically sound, protecting the rights of applicants, employees and employers.”

BDA’s years of experience can help your organization to implement and maintain a viable drug testing program. The company’s principals are Peter Bensinger, who served as administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Dr. Robert DuPont, the founding Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

“Bensinger and his cohorts in the drug testing industry represent just one of the many industries that are lobbying to keep the failed war on drugs alive, as they’re willing to subvert democracy and the Constitution to do it,” Activist Post offers.

I worthy of the web site posting.Pretty seeking in advance toward read through even more.

I refuse drug testing, and it’s costed me dearly, but it’s worth every nickel of it. I will not work for anyone who drug tests, I refuse to be a sheeple- like slave to anybody, and I’m especially not going to let snake oil salesmen like this Benzinger asshole make a nickel off of me. Drug testing is yet another aspect of the satanic New World Order, another means of controlling the masses and making slaves out of the sheeple who are stupid enough to piss in a cup. I used to make good money, I’m a blue collar professional who got laid off a few years ago and can’t find anything but low-paying jobs that require a piss test. Since I refuse to submit to this tyranny, I am working as a pizza delivery driver, which is one of the few occupations left that doesn’t drug test. I’d rather work a job like this and have my dignity intact than to sell my soul to the devil as a piss test slave, no matter how much such a job might pay. What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul? Unlike Benzinger, Dupont, and these DATIA assholes, I’ve got a soul and am a lover of liberty, in other words a TRUE AMERICAN! Besides, since these societal parasites are connected to the government, who’s to say that these drug test labs don’t secretly turn over all the piss samples to the government in order to create a DNA database on every citizen? This is the exact sort of thing which leads to the mark of the beast. So if you want to know the truth about drug testing, just follow the money trail. Indeed, the love of money is the root of all evil.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/Prohibition_prescription_front.jpg. We need to start personalizing these and passing them out to people. Put them in our shoes for a minute see how they feel.Our prohibition was once there problem too.What if the last prohibition wasn’t repealed? Would they want to be in our shoes?We need to make this a more personal fight.I know a lot of alcohol users most of them frown on our “illegal pot” hypocrites!

Nearly every former DEA and ONDCP admin is now making their living in industries that make their profits from the war on marijuana.
Many are in industries they helped create the need for,such as drug screening.
They are all war profiteers and war criminals and should be in the prisons they built for “they’re” war that can never be won or over,,just another hole to throw money into.

OMG!!! you guys have such a way with words! Ma’am you are voted to be the spokesperson from now on to tell them all, what we think about their opinion. AND force them into a drug test….and if they fail it: “WALK THE PLANK OFF THIS PLANET!!

David you are correct. so correct. and these folks are freaking out because they are losing their power!!! WASHINGTONIANS are not going backwards we are going forward!!!

DuPont one of the families that destroyed hemp and marijuana. Is it so hard to put two and two together? I really don’t understand how politics work. Other then the fact that money rules. Well I just emailed the DOJ of course I am 99% sure Holder will not read it. But hey it feels good to voice opinion, and maybe someone will read it. If you can only change one mind, that is all it may take.

Human “drug” testing is one of the most disgusting, insidious things ever devised! It should be illegal in ANY civil society, especially one that touts how “free” it is, to accept one of the most Orwellian violations of human freedom imaginable. This asshole is disgusting, and all decent people should refuse drug testing no matter what the cost!!!
